Mmmm...garlicky french green beans with sliced almonds! This is a great healthy side dish and I loved it. I couldn't get enough of this and its a nice change from regular steamed green beans. The almonds really complimented the dish and garlic just about goes with every vegetable. If you have any picky vegetable eaters, this might be one to try out!
